Joseph: By now yes, but not all jews moved out of Canarsie. There was still a small number of people still living in Canarsie. Also in some communities, businesses owned by yidden (especially nursing homes that are still kosher despite havng only non-jewish residents) still have minyanim for the workers.

The outskirts of Bed-Stuy have thousands of Jews once again. Williamsburg’s Chasidim (and I think Crown Heights’ as well) have expanded into Bed-Stuy. Additionally, there are many secular Jews now living in Bed-Stuy, as a result of these Brooklyn neighborhoods’ general gentrification, including Israelis.

However, with housing prices so high, Greater Williamsburg’s future Chasidic growth is threatened on all sides.
